As the holiday season approaches why not treat yourself to a different kind of celebration this year? Instead of slipping into the usual end-of-year rush, picture yourself exploring cobblestone squares glowing with lights, savoring mulled wine at centuries-old markets, or watching the sun set over a Mediterranean harbor.


Whether you’re chasing snowflakes in Vienna, wandering through Tuscany’s medieval towns, or soaking up the warmth of Malta’s winter sunshine, our festive escapes are designed for solo travelers who love exploring with like-minded people — and always enjoy their own room at no extra cost.

Christmas Market Escapes for Solo Travelers
















Danube Christmas Markets River Cruise


Drift along the Danube in style, stopping at storybook-worthy markets in Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia. Think twinkling stalls, spiced cookies, steaming mugs of mulled wine — all from the comfort of your river-view cabin. This all-inclusive cruise is as sociable as it is scenic, with fellow travelers by your side every step of the way.

Vienna & Prague Christmas Markets


Vienna’s grand boulevards and Prague’s Gothic spires are even more magical under a dusting of snow. Explore Schönbrunn Palace, Prague Castle, and UNESCO-listed Český Krumlov, before browsing stalls piled high with ornaments, gingerbread, and warming punch. These two cities know how to do Christmas — and you’ll experience them both with a ready-made group of new friends.


Winter Sunshine & Cultural Discoveries in Europe
















Christmas in Tuscany


Picture it: rolling hills, cypress trees, and medieval towns lit by candlelight. Spend Christmas week soaking up the charm of Montecatini, Lucca, and Pisa — with time to savor Tuscan feasts and raise a festive toast in true Italian style.


Also available for New Year


Christmas in Austria


Snow-covered mountains, quaint villages, and crisp alpine air — Austria offers a Christmas straight from a postcard. Whether you’re exploring charming towns or sharing a festive meal in cozy surroundings, this week-long escape wraps you in seasonal magic.

 

Ring in the New Year in Style


















New Year in Sofia & Plovdiv

 

See in the New Year under Sofia’s dazzling fireworks, with live music and celebrations filling the streets. Explore the Bulgarian capital’s rich blend of Orthodox churches, Ottoman mosques, and Soviet architecture, before discovering Plovdiv — one of Europe’s oldest cities — with its Roman theatre and colorful Old Town.


New Year Algarve & Andalucía — Tapas, Walks & Sunsets


Prefer sunshine to snow? This week-long walking trip takes you through Portugal’s eastern Algarve and across into Southern Spain, with guided walks through pine forests, ferry rides to Ayamonte, and a festive New Year’s Eve gala dinner. Expect tapas by the Guadiana River, boat tours through the Ria Formosa, and unforgettable sunsets.
